How is the ATP produced in glycolysis like earning a return on an investment ?

Biology
1 answer:
telo118 [61]3 years ago
5 0

Glycolysis is the first step of cellular respiration - the process comprised of series of reactions in which energy is extracted from glucose molecules. The process of glycolysis is almost same in all living organisms.

If we quickly overview the process of glycolysis, we see that it is a process of earning ATPs as a return on ATP investment, why?

  • 2 ATP molecules are invested during the first or preparatory phase pf glycolysis.
  • 2 ATP molecules are formed for each glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate molecule. Therefore, total four ATP molecules are produced.
  • Other than ATP, 1 NADH + H+ is also produced for each molecule of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.

Therefore,total amount of 2 NADH and  4ATP molecules are produced.

But since, there was an investment of two ATPs during the preparatory phase of glycolysis. Therefore, a total of  4-2=2 ATPs is formed/ So it is like an earning on an investment.

Hope it help!

Why do you think air pressure is greatest at the lowest part of the atmosphere?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

At sea level, air pressure is greatest because it is caused by the weight of the entire column of atmosphere at that altitude over that location. As altitude increases, the column of atmosphere gets shorter, and so less weight is pressing down at a given altitude, so atmospheric pressure is reduced.

In a healthy individual, the strongest respiratory stimulus for breathing is
VashaNatasha [74]
During normal breathing, the brain is stimulated to breath with increasing acidity as a result of CO2 concentration from basic metabolic processes. The brain is quite selfish and only really wants to maintain it's pH which should be at a range of 7.3-7.45, and will not tolerate any decrease. 

In patients who have a chronic respiratory disorder with things like COPD. The brain has become accustomed to excessive acidic content, and is now stimulated by the Hypoxic drive or by low oxygen content.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Explanation:

So if there are lumen, there are class B skin. Therefore, with our connecting brain, we can infer that it's obvious what projection it makes. One like the monster effect, to us it is disturbed.

To summarize, they are packed tightly, within class B (known as dead-zone skin). In that, we have our shoebox. That shoebox tissue is known as shatire tissue.
